Mechanisms

Mechanism Solutions for Space-Saving and Convertible Furniture

The right furniture mechanism does more than move a single part; it turns unused areas into living, working, sleeping or storage space. Mechanisms developed for different needs, from wall-folding beds to fold-out tables, from beds with trundle to automatic bed base systems, offer new design possibilities to both home users and furniture makers.

Modamob makes the furniture mechanisms used in Murphy bed, bunk bed, bed base, bedstead, daybed and table systems in its own facility in Bursa. The category includes single and double sizes, vertical and horizontal opening options, systems with desk and with sofa, and remote-controlled models.

Which Mechanism Should You Choose for Which Furniture?

When choosing a mechanism, the function of the furniture to be made must be determined first. Two systems of the same size can differ from each other in opening direction, supporting body and additional functions.

Murphy bed mechanisms let the bed be raised vertically or horizontally against the wall when it is not in use. They are used to make furniture that saves space for teen rooms, studio flats, guest rooms, home offices, apartment units and hotels.

Bunk bed mechanisms allow two beds to be folded and hidden on the same wall. They can be used in children's and teen rooms as well as in dormitory, hotel and accommodation projects.

Storage bed base mechanisms help the storage compartment under the bed open more easily. The category includes unassembled storage bed base lids, lift frames and remote-controlled automatic opening systems.

Bed frame mechanisms can be used in single or double unassembled bed frame projects. Models with a trundle allow a second bed to be pulled out when needed.

Daybed mechanisms let a second bed be pulled out from under a piece of furniture that looks like a sofa. They are useful for homes that host guests and for multi-purpose rooms.

Folding table mechanisms, on the other hand, let the table surface close when not in use or extend when needed. They can be a good choice for saving space on balconies, in kitchens, offices and small work areas.

Choosing a Murphy Bed Mechanism

When choosing a Murphy bed mechanism, the mattress size, opening direction and the free space available in front of the furniture should be considered together.

In vertically opening systems, the bed comes down from the headboard end. These models can fit a narrower wall surface, but they need more depth in the room to open.

In horizontally opening systems, the bed moves along its long side. While a wider wall surface is needed, the distance the bed extends into the room can be smaller. For this reason, horizontal models can be more suitable in teen rooms, attic rooms and narrow rooms.

Depending on the project, single Murphy bed mechanisms or double Murphy bed mechanisms can be chosen. If a work area is also needed, models with a desk should be considered; if a daytime seating area is wanted, models with a sofa.

Wooden-Frame and Metal-Frame Systems

Murphy bed mechanisms with wooden frame are suitable for carpenters who want to prepare the furniture carcass and its dimensions in their own workshop. The mechanism and the furniture carcass must be prepared to suit the project dimensions.

In metal-frame options, the metal frame that carries the bed is part of the system. These models offer a more ready-made base for users and makers who want to build their own Murphy bed furniture. However, since the parts included in the package may vary by product, the scope on the product page must be checked before ordering.

Bunk Bed, Daybed and Table Mechanisms

For projects that want to create two beds in a single room, bunk bed mechanisms can be chosen. Models with a desk help create a work area when the beds are closed.

Daybed mechanisms combine the functions of a sofa and a trundle bed in the same piece of furniture. The bed hidden in the lower part is pulled out when needed to create an extra sleeping area.

Folding table mechanisms, on the other hand, let the table surface be closed or extended. Leaving the passage free when not in use is an advantage, especially for small kitchens, balconies and offices.

Why Does Size Compatibility Matter?

A mechanism order should not be placed simply by choosing "single" or "double". The width, length, thickness and weight of the bed to be used must be compatible with the mechanism.

Depending on the model, the Modamob collection includes mechanisms compatible with 90×190, 100×200, 120×200, 140×190, 150×200 and 160×200 beds. In the systems, using a standard mattress up to 18 cm is recommended. Since not every product supports all of these sizes, exact compatibility must be checked on the relevant product page.

In addition, the structure of the wall where the mechanism will be installed, the outer dimensions of the furniture, the opening distance, and the positions of skirting boards and sockets must be calculated before the project starts.

Durable Steel Parts and Oven Paint

According to the technical information on Modamob's category page, the mechanism parts use 5 mm laser-cut steel sheet, and the load-bearing sections use 30×40×1.5 mm box profile. The parts go through an oven-painting process and the standard colour is matte black. This information should be verified against the technical details of the selected product before ordering.

What Do Furniture Mechanism Prices Depend On?

Furniture mechanism prices differ according to the following features:

• Single or double bed size
• Vertical or horizontal opening direction
• Wooden-frame, slatted-base or metal-frame system
• Desk, sofa or bunk bed function
• Manual or remote-controlled operation
• Metal parts and accessories included in the package
• Standard or custom-size production

When comparing prices, do not look only at the sale price of the mechanism. Whether the wooden body is included in the package, the required mattress size, the installation method and the warranty scope of the product should also be considered. Current prices and package contents are shown on the product cards.

For Carpenters and Furniture Makers

The mechanisms are offered not only to individual users but also to carpenters, architects and furniture makers. Businesses that will prepare the furniture body in their own workshop can buy the mechanism suitable for the project on its own.

Before cutting and production begin, the product's technical drawings, connection points, mattress size and opening clearance should be finalised. Businesses planning serial production or regular purchases can get in touch through the dealer application.
